The grey colour of a dial is spot on, kudos to VFS!

kobe24, can you tell them about the pearl?
It is partially omega to be blamed here for the confusion.
Gen watch was not ready for basel and omega showed a prototype of new 300m - a big pearl almost touching the triangle. This is why in all articles dated for march/april we can see the big pearl. Hodinkee, ABTW they all show the big pearl.

VSF replicated this prototype pearl. But watches which omega actually started to sell in september - have a different peral, the smaller pearl.

puretime can you please make an HD video of the new VSF Seamaster 300 grey dial??

puretime Can you also ask VSF to fix the movement, the pearl, and the bracelet. Then I can order one :)

Also, while we're on the subject, how come you have two listings..one with the SS bracelet for $348 and one with the SS bracelet and a "free" nato strap for $368 ?? That's a funny definition of free.

The more picture I see, the more I'm impress with the dial. Really liking it.

Not a fan of the original rubber strap of Omega, I wonder if an Aquaterra rubber strap would fit? (and how it would look...)
Worst case, I know SMP rubber works with a bit of work.

Was wondering the same. Lug width of both is 20mm.

I have a Seamaster 300M Blue inbound so I decided to order a Gen bracelet. Looking at the WatchMaxx webiste I found two but not sure which to order. The model numbers are 1504/826 and 1515/816. Can our Omega experts chime in? I am far more comfortable with Breitling's than Omega's. Thanks for any help.

1504/826 is for the pre-ceramic chronograph,
1515/816 is for the 2012 ceramic (regular, no chrono)
Afair these endlinks are not interchangeable. What model you have?

The “Free” Nato strap also has 007 on one of the keepers, not something that I would want on mine.

Dial is looking really good on the pictures up at Puretime, if they could just fix the pearl I would love it on the rubber strap.
